Message: [QUOTE="cuseincincy, post: 1654083, member: 331"] You're thinking of John Johnstone. Not Darryl Johnston. Johnstone was hell of a pitcher. Pretty good basketball player. From Liverpool but went to Ludden. His dad had been the hoops coach at Liverpool but lost his job before Johnny got to High school. He stayed on as a teacher at Liverpool (he taught me to drive in Drivers Ed. also had him for gym class). I was about 4 years older than Johnny but remember him as the younger kid in the neighborhood that could hang with us older kids. I also remember coming back from college and meeting Johnny in a pick up game, only now he was a junior at Ludden and no longer a 12 year playing against us older kids! He was a 20th round pick of the Mets and played 8 years in the major leagues mostly with the Giants. Just an fyi! [/QUOTE]
